Since 2005, Wyzant has provided a way for people to learn any subject in a way that works for them.

Dianne K.

11 French lessons

In addition, Nathalie regularly asks me what areas of French culture I want to learn about, and then searches for appropriate, up-to-date articles, which she either brings to the lesson or sends me in advance. This is wonderful, because I am not only learning French, but also learning about things that interest me, and developing the vocabulary to talk about them in French! Nathalie also has provided me with countless internet sources for reading and listening to French on my own.

Sarah R.

I sought out a French tutor to help supplement my weekly French immersion classes, so I could get more 1x1 instruction than the classroom would allow.

He is very patient, knowledgeable, and tailors our French sessions to meet my needs. In addition, he works with me on pronunciation and my French accent until it's correct.

I took French for several years but my skills were rusty when I decided to take an advanced French film class taught entirely in French. I knew I needed help and found Cloe on Wyzant. I have had wonderful sessions with her and she is very smart and talented. She has been helping me with my writing, conversation, grammar and helping to fill in the little bits of knowledge needed to make my French feel more authentic in speaking and writing.
